Sonic Café, with Yesterday to Tomorrow that’s Audioslave, so hey what’s goin’ on, glad you dropped by our little radio café today, I’m your host Scott Clark and this is episode 312. This time the Sonic Café presents the return of Spy Guyz with the case of the missing cat. UK comedian Joe Lycett has the complete story coming our way in just a few minutes. So yeah there’s that, plus a music mix from the last 40 years or so that’s guaranteed to keep NSA operatives and Private Investigators listening even closer than they already are. Listen for The Tubes, Fatboy Slim’s Weapon of Choice. If you haven’t seen it check out the music video staring Christopher Walken, plus Elvis Costello, Tom Waits and more. Then around the bottom of the hour we’ll spin up K.D. Lang with Surrender, the James Bond theme from Tomorrow Never Dies. Oh and courtesy of the aforementioned NSA, we’ll listen in on Person of Interests John Reese as he struggles with making a good decision. Ahem. So all that and more in the return of Spy Guyz, the case of the missing cat. From the radio café, way out here in the Pacific northwest, from 1972 here’s Curtis Mayfield with Superfly, we’re the Sonic Café.

About the Producer:
Scott Clark has always had a lot of music in his life. Growing up outside of Chicago, he was mesmerized early on by the radio of the sixties and seventies and began collecting records at a very early age. From 45’s and LP’s to cassettes and CD’s and now digital… he really never stopped. Today everything in his library is digitized because he got sick of lugging all that stuff around.
The concept for the Sonic Café is to deliver the high production values and feel of the radio he grew up listening to. But unlike the tight, repetitious playlists of those commercial stations, feature a massive range of artists, genres and tunes. The whole idea is to package it in an eclectic, engaging, no repeat format that brings both new and old together in a unique, entertaining, and most importantly fun and fast paced way. There’s really nothing on the radio today, or in the past, that compares with it.
About the Sonic Café:
The show is set in an imaginary cafe overlooking the Pacific Ocean on the Central Oregon Coast. The cafe serves up eclectic, intelligent music, comedy and pop culture. The program originates on the Oregon coast in the Pacific Northwest, so the imagery is not a huge stretch.
Each program is 58:00 minutes in length leaving room for station ID, promos and PSAs. Each episode is .mp3 encoded at a constant rate of 256kbps and ready for broadcast.
An episode is released each week. All episodes are evergreen; never focusing on time of year, weather, month, holidays, events etc. so each show is timeless. All music is presented in a no repeat format. Once a song airs in an episode it never airs again. Episodes may be downloaded and grouped together to quickly create program blocks of two, three, four or more hours in length.
The Sonic Cafe has a Facebook page (facebook.com/SonicCafeRadio) where complete show notes and playlists are presented for each episode. Listeners can also reach the show producers via email (SonicCafeRadio@gmail.com)
